BLUF

Organisations that prioritize rapid adaptation without recovery accumulate psychological debt, eroding resilience. Sustainable growth requires structured pauses, peer support, and recovery infrastructure; because resilience is built through regeneration—not endless acceleration or ‘fail fast’ cycles.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Explain the concept of regenerative capacity and its distinction from coping under stress.
  • Analyse the organisational and psychological risks of continuous adaptation without recovery.
  • Develop strategies to build recovery infrastructure for sustainable adaptation.
